I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, FOR MY VEHICLE, DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY TOYOTA TO MAKE THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1-888-270-9371 TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE REMEDY NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME BY MISTAKE AND THAT ONLY CERTAIN STATES WERE INCLUDED, FOR A NO CHARGE REMEDY, DUE TO LIMITED PARTS AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT ALL STATES ARE NOT CURRENTLY REPAIRING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS "THERE IS A RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

MY DAD BOUGHT THIS TUNDRA NEW IN 2003. THE FRAME STARTED RUSTING IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AND IN 2011 HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA STATING THAT HE NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN AND HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED. HE TOOK IT TO HICKORY TOYOTA TO HAVE THE DEALER EVALUATE IT. BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS HEAVILY RUSTED MY DAD ASSUMED THE FRAME WOULD BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS STRUCTURALLY FINE AND INTACT AND DID NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. MY DAD GAVE ME THE TRUCK IN 2012 AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE BRAKES REPLACED. MY MECHANIC COMMENTED ON THE EXCESSIVE RUST AND TOLD ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. I TOLD HIM MY DAD HAD TAKEN IT AND SUPPOSEDLY EVERYTHING WAS OK. SKIP AHEAD TO JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND I HAD THE TUNDRA IN AGAIN FOR A REGULAR STATE INSPECTION. AS SOON AS MY MECHANIC PUT MY TRUCK UP ON THE LIFT, THE FRAME BENT IN THE MIDDLE ON BOTH SIDES AND HOLES WERE TORN IN THE FRAME. I CONTACTED BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALER THAT DID THE INSPECTION IN 2011 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE RECALL ON THESE FRAMES HAD EXPIRED AND THEY WERE GOING TO DO NOTHING. I FEEL THAT THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT TOLD US WE DIDN'T NEED A NEW FRAME IN 2011 BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED WAS TRYING TO SAVE BOTH HIMSELF AND TOYOTA MONEY BY NOT REPLACING THE FRAME WHEN IT NEEDED IT. I BELIEVE THE DEALER AND TOYOTA STILL BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE FRAME. *TR

STRUCTURE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AS I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED WHEN I BECAME AWARE OF A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHICH HAD SUDDENLY BEGAN AS I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET. I STOPPED VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. I DISCOVERED THAT MY FUEL TANK WAS DRAGGING BENEATH THE TRUCK. THE METAL STRAPS THAT HELD TANK TO FRAME HAD RUSTED THRU CAUSING TANK TO FALL TO ROAD SURFACE. ALL THE CONNECTIONS TO FUEL TANK WERE RIPPED FROM TANK. TOYOTA IS WORRIED ABOUT THE SPARE TIRE FALLING DOWN DO TO RUSTED FRAME MEMBERS BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FUEL TANKS FALLING OFF. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HATE TO THINK OF WHAT CONSEQUENCES MIGHT HAVE BEEN. *JS

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 49 FROM OAKHURST TO MARIPOSA, CALIFORNIA. THE HIGHWAY SURFACE WAS WET AND SLICK AS WE HAD JUST EXPERIENCED OUR FIRST RAIN OF THE SEASON. OUR TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK WENT INTO A SKID ON A CURVE, CLIMBED AN EMBANKMENT AND ROLLED ONE FULL TURN TO THE LEFT. WE HIT A MANZANITA TREE AND A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP AND ROLLING. THE AIRBAGS WERE EXAMINED BY TOYOTA 9-24-2013 IN RESPONSE TO A RECALL AND WERE CLEARED . IN THE ACCIDENT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS INJURIES INCLUDING BROKEN RIBS, COLLARBONE AND SEVERE WHIPLASH. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM THESE INJURIES AND DEALING WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. WE WROTE TO TOYOTA 5-21-2014 TO REPORT THIS AIRBAG FAILURE. TO DATE WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.

HELLO, I AM HAVING A REALLY STRANGE PROBLEM WITH MY 2003 TUNDRA, THE REAR AXLE IS ACTUALLY RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING GEAR LUBE! I LIVE IN A SNOW AREA AND DROVE THE TRUCK FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE NOTICING THE OIL ON GROUND AFTER SNOW MELTED, NOW IT IS TOO LATE AS THE REAR AXLE IS NOW MAKING A NOISE AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL I REPLACE THE ENTIRE AXLE HOUSING! YOU CANNOT HEAR IT IN THE CAB UNLESS WINDOWS ARE DOWN! I HAVE TAKEN EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF THIS TRUCK AND ALL MY CARS, WASHING AND WAXING FREQUENTLY EVEN IN WINTER. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK FOR RUST INSPECTIONS AND FRAME COATING BUT NOTHING FOR THE AXLE! I HAVE ACTUALLY SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS THAT ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME WITH THEIR TUNDRA! ACTUALLY THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE BEARINGS SEIZE FROM NO LUBRICATION AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO LOCK IN THE REAR! I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ERROR! I REALLY CANNOT AFFORD THE 4-5 THOUSAND REPAIR ON THE TRUCK! I HAVE HAD MANY NEW TOYOTA CARS AND TRUCKS STARTING IN 1984 WITH AN ALL WHEEL TERCEL FOLLOWED BY 5 TACOMAS, EVERY 2 OR 3 YEARS, A PREVIA, A SIENNA AND IN 2009 A CAMRY HYBRID. I WAS GOING TO SELL IT TO MY SON AND BUY ANOTHER TUNDRA BUT I AM NOT SO SURE NOW. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD COVER THIS STRUCTURAL DEFECT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OTHER CAR OR TRUCK THAT ACTUALLY RUSTED THROUGH THE AXLE HOUSING! ALSO THE FLOOR OF THE BED IN THE TUNDRA WHERE THE CROSS BRACES ARE WELDED TO ARE RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL, THIS STARTED WITHIN 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP! I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL THE OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! I HAVE BEEN A BIG SUPPORTER OF TOYOTA BUT MAYBE THAT IS COMING TO AN END! *TR

WHEELS
AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AND STARTING THE DRIVE, A GRINDING/SQUEALING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THIS SOUND CONTINUED UNTIL THE VEHICLE COULD BE PARKED AND TAKEN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT (PARKED WITHIN 1 MILE OF ORIGINAL STARTING POINT). THE REPAIR SHOP DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO A FAILED WHEEL BEARING. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH A PREVIOUSLY WORKED ON TOYOTA PRERUNNER WHERE THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT THE DRIVER CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WAS EVENTUALLY TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AFTER THE WHEEL BECAME COCKED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE WHILE THE DRIVER WAS ON THE ROAD. *TT

2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, HE STARTED THE ENGINE AND NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, THE AIR BAG ISSUE WAS THE TARGET OF THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE SERVICE AREA, AND THE TECHNICIAN PUT A COMPUTER DEVICE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALER AND ABOUT HALF WAY HOME, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER DID NOT BELIEVE THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED.*JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL MY FIRST CROSS COUNTRY RETIREMENT TRIP IN SEPTEMBER 2013. MY PLANNED TRIP WAS FROM TENNESSEE TO CALIFORNIA. WHEN I REACHED KINGMAN, ARIZONA (ABOUT 1200 MILES INTO THE TRIP), I WAS TRAVELING UPHILL ON INTERSTATE 40 WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK ACCELERATED ITSELF TO A HIGH RPM AND SPEED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND OR SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. I TRIED TO MAINTAIN STEERING CONTROL, BUT IN A SPLIT-SECOND, I WAS THROWN OFF THE HIGHWAY AND INTO THE HILLSIDE, TREES, AND BUSHES. THE TRUCK COMPLETELY ROLLED OVER, FLIPPED UPHILL, AND COME TO A STOP FACING TRAFFIC. THE LANDED DRIVER SIDE DOWN, AND WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 79,000 MILES ON IT. A MONTH LATER I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL DONE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2003 MODEL. I NOW WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS WERE INJURED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MANY PICTURES OF THE DAMAGES. *TR

MY 2003 TUNDRA SR5 4X4 ACCESS CAB BROKE DOWN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP DURING INTERSTATE DRIVING IN 2WD AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. UPON A LENGTHY AND EXPENSIVE TOW TO MY MECHANIC, I WAS ADVISED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED DUE TO EXTENSIVE RUST NOT ONLY ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER, BUT OVER THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. THE RUST WAS SO PERVASIVE IT ALLOWED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN HEAT AND FRICTION LEADING TO THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL GEARS. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 48,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF RUSTED FUEL TANK STRAPS. I RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION FROM ANY TOYOTA DEALER EXCEPT TO BE REFERRED TO TOYOTA USA. AS SUCH, I CONTACTED TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA DIRECT ON OCT. 28, 2013 AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER (INCIDENT: 131027-000079). AS EXPECTED, TOYOTA'S ORAL REPLY ON OCT. 29, 2013 FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE EXCESSIVE RUST THAT IS PLAGUING MANY TUNDRA OWNERS AND IS RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPAIR COSTS THAT WOULD ORDINARILY BE UNNECESSARY HAD THE VEHICLES BEEN PROPERLY MANUFACTURED. RATHER THAN SIMPLY APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND ADVISE THE MATTER WOULD BE ELEVATED TO MANAGEMENT AND RATHER THAN HIDE BEHIND WARRANTY EXPIRATION EXCUSES, TOYOTA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS MALEFICENCE AND IN THE INTEREST OF MAINTAINING ITS REPUTATION AND OWNER BASE, DO THE RIGHT THING AND CORRECT THIS WELL DOCUMENTED DEFICIENCY. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE IS TYPICAL OF WHAT OTHER OWNER'S ARE REPORTING ON VARIOUS WEB SITES INCLUDING "TUNDRA SOLUTIONS" AND OTHERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT FOR WHICH TOYOTA SHOULD ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAD THERE BEEN A REAR END COLLISION OR HAD CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BEEN LOST WHILE STEERING INTO A MUDDY MEDIAN WHERE ROAD CONSTRUCTION WAS IN PROGRESS. *TR

DEALER ADVISED THE LIGHT IS NOT RELATED TO RECALL AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COULD NOT SAY WHAT WAS WRONG AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS. THEY COULD NOT SAY HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE OR WHAT COULD BE WRONG BUT WERE INSISTENT THAT IS WAS NOT RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL. NOW I AM WITHOUT AN AIRBAG AND THEY WON'T FIX IT. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!! HOW COULD IT NOT BE RELATED TO THE RECALL? *TR

SHE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRAME. SHORTLY AFTER, SHE HEARD A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK. AT FIRST, SHE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, BUT AS TIME WENT ON, IT BECAME WORSE. THE CONSUMER TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRING WAS BROKE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO SEE THE LEAF SPRING, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE RUSTED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO BREAK. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE LEAF SPRING SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CHECK, WHEN THE FRAME WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER ALSO DISCOVERED THE LEFT REAR LEAF SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL.
